Yep, nothing could go wrong with armed volunteers quickly assembled to stand out in front of every school in America. Nothing could go wrong with scaring people who should not handle guns into feeling like the need to own them. Nothing could go wrong with manufacturers creating new markets for their military grade weapons. Nothing could go wrong with blaming mental health problems and then doing nothing to solve them. Nothing could go wrong with stockpiling guns and ammo in case they might someday become less available. Nothing could go wrong with equating guns for vigilante justice with guns for licensed sports hunting. Nothing could go wrong with selling fear.

    Great comic and commentary. I also really liked Tom the Dancing Bug’s Counter-Earth’s NRA comic which similarly hit the nail on the head. A friend of mine started The Sock Project on FB to send Congress any orphaned socks you have at home with a brief note about the value of your child and why continuing to ignore gun violence is not OK. BTW, thanks for the Tom the Dancing Bug subscription – AWESOME!
